Pendleton County Court, December Term 1832 Sd.
State of Kentucky, and County of Pendleton, Sd.
On this 17 th day of December 1832, personally appeared before the Justices of the County Court of Pendleton, John Gilum, a resident of Pendleton County, and State of Kentucky, aged seventy three years, who being first duly sworn, according to law, doth on his oath make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by the Act of Congress, passed June 7 th 1832. That he was born in the year 1759, and in the County of Hanover, State of Virginia and was drafted a militia man, in the Virginia militia, some time in the years 1776 or 1777, the particular year not now recollected, and served twelve months as a private soldier; That is to say, he served six towers of two months each; the said towers being served at different times, by serving two months and returning home, and when again called for, serving two months again, and so on until twelve months were served. The particular dates of the services he cannot recollect, owing to the circumstance of his old age and having no records of s d services in his possession. He does not recollect the Regiment in which he served, but Richard Taylor, commanded as Colonel and Park Goodall as Major for a part of the time, say at the siege of Little York. No other Regimental field Officers recollected. His captains were William Torrel, James Dovel, two by the name of ----- Thompson, ----- Nelson and Thomas Richardson, each of whom commanded one two months tower. No other company officer recollected. During his service he was confined to the state of Virginia and generally marching from one place to another except that he was stationed for short periods at Williamsburgh Va., Richmond, Va., Petersburg Va. and Cabbin point Va. The United States officers who at different times commanded the Militia to which he was attached, was General Lacy Fayette, Steuben and Wayne. There were other Generals but he does not know whether they were U.S. officers or not, to wit, Generals Mullenburgh and Ennis. He was at the siege of Little York

and was for some time before, and at the siege, under the command of General La Fayette, General George Washington being commander in chief. He remained throughout the siege and until the capture of Lord Cornwallis; and was afterwards discharged and returned home. He has not preserved his discharge and does not now know of any living witness by whom he can prove his services, except his brother Richard Glinn, who was then small, and recollects he was in the service but knows none of the particulars, not being himself in the service. He, the said John Glinn was a resident of Hanover County, State of Virginia at the time when he first entered the service, and remained in s d County until about the year 1795 when he migrated to the State of Kentucky, and has resided in the County of Pendleton, State of Kentucky, ever since the year 1797. There is a record of his age in the State of Missouri. He has now stated all that he recollects of his services at this distance of time. Andrew H. Keith, a minister of the Gospel, in his neighbourhood, has been, for some time, acquainted with him and can testify as to the general belief of his having been a Revolutionary soldier, and of his character for veracity. He hereby relinquishes every claim to a pension or annuity, except the present; and he declares that his name is not on the pension roll of any agency of any State. Sworn to and subscribed the day and year aforesaid. John Glinn.
We Andrew H. Keith, a clergyman, residing in the County of Pendleton and State of Kentucky, and William Rule & David T. M. Sterne, residing in the County & State aforesaid, hereby certify that we are well acquainted with John Glinn who has subscribed and sworn to the foregoing declaration; that we believe him to be 73 years of age; that he is reputed and believed in the neighbourhood where he resides, to have been a soldier of the Revolution, and that we concur in that opinion. Sworn and subscribed the day and year aforesaid. Andrew H. Keith, Wm. Rule David T. M. Sterne.
I, Richard Glinn, brother of the foregoing John Glinn, and now residing with him, do certify that I have a distinct recollection of his having gone out in the service as he sets forth, but have no recollection

of the particulars of his services, being, at that time, too young to take any part in the war which was then going on. He is, I believe, seventy three years of age, and has resided in the county of Pendleton, State of Kentucky, the time he states - and I believe every fact set forth by him is true. Sworn and subscribed the day and year aforesaid. Richard Glinn."
And the said Court do hereby declare their opinion, after the investigation of the matter, and after putting the interrogatories prescribed by the War department, that the above named applicant (John Glinn) was a revolutionary soldier and served as he states. And the court further certifies that it appears to them that Andrew M. Keith who has signed one of the preceding certificates, is a clergyman, resident in the county of Pendleton & State of Kentucky; and that William Rule & David T. M c Sterne who have also signed the same, and Richard Glinn who has signed the other, are residents in the county of Pendleton and State of Kentucky and are credible persons - and that their statements are entitled to credit."
State of Kentucky Pendleton County 350.
I, W.B. Kennett, Clerk of the Pendleton County Court, do hereby certify that the foregoing contains the original proceedings of the said court, in the matter of the application of John Glinn for a pension.
In testimony whereof , I have hereunto set my hand and seal of office. This 19 th day of December A.D. 1832.
